You can upload a photo, image, or picture to this wiki site for appropriate use on the site.

Uploading the image

To upload:

1. Log in.
2. Click Upload file in the left-side toolbox.
3. In the Upload file page, use the Browse button to browse to your image on your system.
4. Type a destination filename:

   PLEASE note the instructions on choosing a destination filename!

5. Type a brief summary description of what the image is or represents.
6. Click Upload file.

Choosing a destination filename

Choose a unique filename (something that no one else is likely to want to use); e.g., "ColladaDOMarchitecture" or "BezierMatrixEquation".

• Good examples: Physics-elements-relationship.jpg, DOMobjectModel.png, Category_example.png
• Bad examples: screenshot.jpg, image27.png, diagram.jpg.

Using the image

To include the image in a page, use a link of one of the basic forms:

[[Image:yourFileName.jpg]]

[[Image:yourFileName.jpg | thumb | yourcaption ]].

For example:

[[Image:COLLADAarchitecture.jpg | thumb | High-level COLLADA architecture ]]

Additional information

You can also specify the image size and other attributes. For more information, refer to the Wikipedia article on WikiMedia extended image syntax.
